AACOM, in collaboration with the Pre-Student Osteopathic Medical Association (Pre-SOMA), invites the osteopathic medical education (OME) community to participate in 2016 ShaDO Week. Save the date for the national spring event, which will be held April 17-23.

Increasing the Pipeline of Prospective Students

Join Pre-SOMA during this year’s National ShaDO Week to help pre-medical students explore osteopathic medicine at the U.S. colleges of osteopathic medicine (COMs). The annual event allows pre-meds to ‘shadow’ osteopathic medical students while they attend lectures, osteopathic manipulative medicine (OMM) workshops, and Q&A sessions, among other activities. National ShaDO Week provides prospective students with the opportunity to interact with DO students and faculty, and also for current DO students to grow as leaders by mentoring future medical students.

NOM Week brings the osteopathic medical profession together to focus on one common goal—increasing awareness of osteopathic medicine and DOs in communities across the country.
